Great little getaway
Such a beautiful little place with large bedrooms. The outdoor is a brilliant space to sit around with friends and then when the sun goes down you come inside to the cozy fireplace which was thoughtfully set up for us before arrival. Jo-Anne was brilliant and left us some goodies on arrival and wonderfully express posted my watch back to me when I left it behind. We had such a lovely stay thanks so much!

Perfect weekend get-away
Cozy, homely and the perfect get away for our girls weekend. Jo-Anne was wonderful to deal with. She responded quickly to any questions I had and was accommodating and flexible with our check in/out time. It’s a beautiful holiday house, in a wonderful location and although we didn’t use the downstairs area, we could easily see how great it would be even with up to three families and kids staying together as the down stairs section is seperate and ideal as a second lounge room/kids area.

Dirty house wouldn’t recommend to no one
The house was awful. Dirty dishes, barbecue, beds and carpet. Rude host wouldn’t let us have 1 or 2 visitors at the house. Wouldn’t recommend this house to anyone. Don’t bother booking it waste of time and money.

Fantastic weekend
We had a great weekend in Jo’s house. It was really clean and comfortable with lots of thoughtful touches. Jo was so great to communicate with, and gave us lots of info about the local area. Walking distance to the beach and cafes and restaurants so we barely used the car once we arrived. Highly recommended

Nice relaxing getaway
We just had a lovely get away on the weekend here. Jo is super helpful, responsive and communicate throughout prior and during our stay to enjoy our stay and got all our queries answered. Location is convenient, McCrae beach is just a walking distance and so peaceful. Cafe and restaurants are just across the beach. The house is very cozy and has plenty space for our family. There are 2 separate lounge rooms/playrooms so we could have our own space when we need to. The house is clean , the balcony has nice decking with some ocean view, we really enjoyed having breakfast and coffee every morning there. Overall nice stay for us, thanks Jo. Annie

A Great Winter Escape
We had a lovely winter escape at this property. It was very clean and well provisioned. It had lots of character and comfort. Jo-Anne was an excellent and very responsive host. The log-fire was very cosy and warm. My only quibble was that the Wi-fi didn’t work well, so if you need something reliable this property may not be for you. That said, I would recommend it and probably book again.
